A couple of weeks ago I attended the Secret Santa London Meet Up organised by the lovely Clare and Emma. The plan behind it was we were all given a ‘Secret Santa’, another blogger that we were buying the gift for, and would all meet up in London to exchange gifts and eat mince pies and have a chat. I went along with Bex and of course no meet up would go ahead without some sort of drama with us, and this time we got completely lost, despite having gone to Tiger Tiger in Piccadilly Circus three times together, oops. And as usual I completely forgot to take any photos of the event as I was so busy chatting to other bloggers so I have nothing to put up in my post, Oops.
At the event we were given some lovely goody bags organised by Emma. They came with some great goodies from Simply Be, Bomb Cosmetics and Apivita, and I think my favourite thing must be the “I love blogging” sign by Mums Crafts. There was also some chocolates and candy canes but of course I ate that before I remembered to take photos..
We were also given our Secret Santa gifts and I was really impressed with mine. I got a bottle of Lush Snow Fairy (my favourite shower gel ever!), a Revlon Lip Butter in the shade Berry Smoothie, a face mask, and a Baylis & Harding Beauticology gift set including the most amazing fluffy socks, Gingerbread Foot Soak Crystals and Vanilla Frosting Foot Lotion. I was sat joking with Bex and Clare that who ever got me knew me really well as I loved my Secret Santa and then Clare admitted it was her! After the event we all split up different ways and I wondered off with Bex, Clare and her friend Natalie to wonder around the shops, and I even let Clare influence me to pick up a MAC lipstick.
I had such a great time at the Secret Santa London Meet Up, and the thought behind it from Clare and Emma was brilliant. And thank you to my Secret Santa *cough* Clare *cough*.
Over the years I’ve always had one of those resolutions that ‘I will get fit’, and this will usually last for a month or so before I give up on it. This year I’m carrying on with my weightloss journey, and found that even if I do eat well, the results are a lot more effective…
So here we are already, 2012!?! How insane is that?! Seems like only yesterday I was welcoming in the new year 2011, and now where here in 2012, crazy stuff. So how did I start my new year? I went up north to visit my boyfriend Chris, and we had a couple of friends over…
There are so many good freebies on magazines this month! If my bank balance would allow it I would of bough them all. Sadly I’m poor at the moment so I settled on a £2 copy of Glamour. This month I got myself a Benefit freebie! Benefit are giving away three different shades…
I recently saw this post on Jess’s blog, and thought I’d give it a go myself! Jess tagged anyone who was reading so thought I’d try it out, and I too tag anyone who’s reading, so give it ago! Make Up Blusher or Bronzer – I don’t really use either, but I guess blusher…
This year I’m making the most of the bank holiday weekend and getting the chance to go away for a few days to visit my partners parents up north. I’m pretty excited as this is the first Easter weekend in years that I’m not working (stupid working in retail) or have 100’s of uni deadlines…
I’ve recently become slightly obsessed with Barry M nail paints – I now have a collection of 13! And one of my favourite websites is the Barry M website. One of my favourite things to do on this is to look at nail paints and create wish lists of what to get next! I’ve just created myself a…
